Why on earth do we keep floating hopeful balls into the box full well knowing AP is a master at catching them? It's so irritating. We should know better
We're in the pressure cooker now. I wana see some grit and intend. We need a strong response otherwise we'll get hammered here today. That crowd is giving them a real lift.
AFC clearly the better team imo. We're not clicking in midfield, slow to transition, not getting Kosta involved. We struggle to keep composure especially around their 18 yard box which is a worry. It does show though their defence is immense and there's a reason they haven't conceded yet.
if he’s fit I think David Ball is hard done by. He doesn’t the pace but at least he has the strength to hold the ball up for Costa to run off him. At the moment we are very lightweight up top and losing possession far too easily.
It’s actually crazy how lucky they are. Not this game, but the whole season. They haven’t had much this game in terms of chances and they take the first one they get. Unbelievable
Nix do the same thing, they hardly have any shots or chances most games but take them.. theaucklandphoenixfan

Fudgeing hell paulsen nothing in that. Sutts was standing where he's entitled to be and you've jumped over him and rolled like you've been shot
In the replay you saw him look behind to see who he had backed into - once he knew it was a Nix player he started rolling around - Paulsen is good enough of a player he doesn't need to be trying to bait the referee into carding, he should be above that
We need to stop putting crosses in close to Paulsen - we know he's gonna get them every time - also maybe better to put our crosses in on the ground so Paulsen doesnt have a chance to catch
